Re: Does the name "Boba" mean anything?

"Boba" in Asiatic culture refers to a tapioca pearl, usually found in a type of milky tea drink that originated in Taiwan (the original Taiwanese slang for "boba" referred to large breasts, so in Taiwan the drink is referred to as "zen zu" instead). I doubt that it has anything to do with Boba Fett, though.

It's also the name of a city in Hungary. I don't know what the Hungarian translation would be, since it's likely from the old language.

And like the others said, "boba" means "silly/stupid/dumb/idiot" in Spanish and Portuguese. It has the same meaning and use as the French word "bÃƒÂªte".

Mandalorians - very good at providing little deaths in large quantities.

So Boba are the tapioca pearls in Bubble Tea? That's pretty cool. Bubble Tea seems to be the 'fad' drink at school. It's an acquired taste but I enjoy it.
